Delhi, August 28, 2019: Alstrut, a Chennai-based company offering robotics and end of line automation solutions to discrete manufacturing industries across India, has chosen PackPlus as the platform to launch ‘Cobotizur’, a new product that has applications specifically in the packaging industry, i.e., FMCG, Food and Pharmaceuticals.
Anuj Bihani, Managing Director, Alstrut India Private Limited, said, “Cobotizur is a flexible palletising system that combines a palletising cell with a collaborative robot and provides end-users the features needed to quickly setup a robot for palletising boxes or cartons on a standard pallet. Not only does it relieve humans from the laborious task of stacking boxes, it enhances the efficiencies of the operators and hence increases throughput.
Key features of Cobotizur include quick installation, vertical 7th axis, minimal footprint, modular easy to move, continuous operation, easy programming, save to use and minimal maintenance.
Cobotizur is a modular, plug and play equipment which can be integrated with the UR10 or UR10e collaborative robot from Universal Robots to provide the user a ‘collaborative robot palletiser’, automating palletising of carton boxes on to a pallet.
The cobotizur is shipped as an all-inclusive unit, inclusive of a vertical 7th axis, a custom designed vacuum gripper to grip carton boxes of varying sizes and weights and a vacuum pump.
Deploying the cobotizur requires absolutely no expertise or programming knowledge. A simple one-time three-point calibration is all that is needed. Using the intuitive touch-panel interface, users can in a few minutes, enter the dimensions and weight of all SKU, storing over 200 SKU types. It has a compact foot print, enabling installation at existing site with minimal change in layout.
System integrators or end-users worldwide need to follow five simple steps to deploy a safe palletising solution at the End of Line in just a few hours. The ‘platform approach’ of providing a plug and produce equipment, empowers users to now deploy a simplified palletising solution which earlier was perceived as a complex project.
Alstrut solutions include automated/semi-automated assembly lines, conveyors, work stations, end of line automation, etc. Industry verticals where Alstrut has delivered projects include automobiles, auto-components, electrical, electronics, FMCG, food, packaging, pharma, etc.
